Aiming to spread the value of Thai elephants' skills and their artistic works to the world, Maesa Elephant Camp decided to nominate their elephants' painting to be recorded by the Guinness World Record. The record breaking event was held on February, 19, 2005, and witnessed by Guinness World Records. On that day, the eight elephant artists - Kongkum, Wanpen, Kamsan, Lankam, Duanpen, Songpun, Punpetch and Pu Ood – spent six hours skillfully creating a modern impressionist painting to depict the gorgeous natural scenery of Northern Thailand.
